<p class="govuk-body">IATI data of any publisher worldwide is available directly via the IATI Datastore. For individual programmes in Development Tracker, IATI data can be downloaded in JSON format via the programme page. In addition, summary data for all FCDO programmes collectively is available in <a href="https://fcdo.iati.cloud/search/activity/?q=reporting_org_ref:GB-GOV-1&fl=iati_identifier,title_narrative_text,description_narrative_text,activity_date_iso_date,activity_date_type,activity_plus_child_aggregation_budget_value_gbp,location_name_narrative_text,location_point_pos,location.point.srsName&rows=80000&wt=csv" class="govuk-link" target="_blank">CSV format</a> detailing the title, description, budget, location and start and end dates - this data is published under the <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/" class="govuk-link" target="_blank">Open Government Licence v3.0</a>. We continue to explore ways to further increase access to data in Development Tracker including collective programme information published by other government departments.</p>

<h2 class="govuk-heading-m">How often is Development Tracker updated?</h2>
2222
<p class="govuk-body">The IATI standard recommends that publishers update their data at least quarterly. FCDO updates its IATI data monthly, usually in the last working week of the month, although other government departments and partners have different publication frequencies. Development Tracker is then updated around the start of each month, from all available data sources.</p>

<p class="govuk-body">The source code for the Development Tracker is available on <a href="https://github.com/DFID/devtracker-from-api" class="govuk-link" target="_blank">GitHub</a> so that others can freely re-use or even contribute to the code. We want to give other organisations a good starting point in visualising their own data, and to encourage a community of innovative developers to build, share and re-use interesting software built on the data.</p>
